Too Cold For Anything

Lorna

Why is March so horribly cold

The thermometer tells me

It's warmer than January

By 20 degrees

And the bird bath water

Refuses to freeze

But the tips of my fingers

Are chilled to the bone

And I want to stay home

The furnace is going full blast

But I'm past

Believing the numbers

They're lying

It's a conspiracy

To keep me sitting

In front of the fire

Or the last breath of Winter

Who is feeling bitter

Since he is dying

It's terminal

Only a few weeks to live

I'll help with that

In any way I can

Murder she wrote

Let's choke

The seasonal visiting villain

      I'm with you too Lorna. Old Man Winter must go now. And a great write to show him the door.

      • Lorna

        We're going to get it here tomorrow AP - hopefully it will leave you Mass guys alone this time!

          Thanks Lorna, I hope by a miracle, you can dodge the bullet this time. Let me know if you need me to come down there and shovel you out. ; )

          A fine write Lorna. The UK had a taste last week, but not as severe as yours.

          Lorna
          a wonderful reflection of how you feel with winter!
          I think I speak many of us, let the spring unfold quickly:)

            It's going to make us suffer every single inch of the way Michael........... arrgghhhh.

            Ah - an apt finalƩ to your your expressive outcry against this wintery interlude Lorna. A warm read to take the edge off the cold temperature here.

            • Lorna

              Thanks Fay - and perversely today is full of sunshine!

              I too long for spring. I thank God it's springing!
